It could be good. We could combine the two and call it water polo - picture the scene : two horses in the pool drowning the jockeys whilst moving in perfect symmetry and timing - and at the same time wearing make-up, googles and nose clips with little condoms on their heads !David Hughesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-3979890765348852652009-05-25T12:45:07.231+01:002009-05-25T12:45:07.231+01:00Ian, your most hated organisation is the BNP and t...Ian, your most hated organisation is the BNP and that's fair enough.<br /><br />However I've had Conservative, New Labour, Lib Dem and Green leaflets put through my letterbox and none of them mention immigration despite this issue being at the top of voters concerns according to numerous polls.<br /><br />Hate away by all means but until the mainstream parties begin to address immigration concerns you'll be hating them a long way into the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-27744341596465340862009-05-25T12:09:36.082+01:002009-05-25T12:09:36.082+01:00So, please explain how 'Das Kapital' has done more...So, please explain how 'Das Kapital' has done more damage than Mein Kampf, particularly when 'The BNP' is your most hated organisation?Silencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11547765233855857476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-15441473386949536412009-05-25T11:20:43.365+01:002009-05-25T11:20:43.365+01:00"I was badgered into buying a Mac last year and ha..."I was badgered into buying a Mac last year and have regretted it ever since.

The head chef's first words to me were "I want 18 avocado salads on those plates - NOW!" <br />I had no idea what to do with this ugly green lump called an avocado! The chef very quickly demonstrated how to de-seed and peel one, but the task of replicating his swift knife-work proved utterly beyond my capabilities. When he saw the results of my ham-fisted attempts, his swearing at me put Gordon Ramsay to shame. <br /><br />One thing I learned in those three days: Being a chef is bloody hard work. Whenever you've particularly enjoyed a meal at a restaurant, please leave a generous tip for the chef. And on the other hand, never criticise the food within earshot of the chef: They're all drug-addicted psychotics, with a large range of very sharp knives at their disposal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-49570553553123191992009-05-24T22:55:17.411+01:002009-05-24T22:55:17.411+01:00I was badgered into buying a Mac last year and hav...I was badgered into buying a Mac last year and have regretted it ever since.

Much of it is incredibly influential even on very right-wing economists. Readers of the Economist (hardly a hotbed of lefties) rated it (and Marx) the most important economist and economic text of all time, pushing Smith into second place.<br /><br />Perhaps you were thinking of The Communist Manifesto? Or the works of Lenin and Trotsky?DespairingLiberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903904463236135611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-44934667187921523182009-05-24T17:34:36.847+01:002009-05-24T17:34:36.847+01:00WARNOCK MANIA...
